I thought I already posted a reply to another thread on this subject, but I'm new on here and can't find it so here's a new thread in case anyone finds it of use/help:
I only recently, in the past few days, started having the "Open Office Calc freezes every time I try to copy/paste" problem, on a finances tracking spreadsheet I"ve used for many years, updating several times a month. After reading every "solved" post I could find on this topic and not finding any resolution that I could make work, I tried "saving" the file as a Microsoft Excel 97/2000/XP (.xls) file instead of an ODF Spreadsheet file, and, furiously knocking on wood here hoping this doesn't somehow cause some other type of worse catastrophe, it's working fine. I have copied and pasted a number of times, saved the file numerous times, and it seems to be totally usable once again like it was before. I also just did a "save as ODF" experiment with the file, opened it up in OpenOffice again, and it seems to be working fine now also. Anyway, FYI for what it might be worth.
